Sponge

Its effects run in you Always through you And when you’re not careful, It can go all the way down If you clench it hard enough It almost squeezes back Ripping at your everything. In the moment it wrenches you And you play dead for a while Until you’re back to reality And it releases your smile. It’s not as bad as you thought You’re not as bad as you thought. Squeeze yourself, Releasing all that needs to be said and done Tempt yourself For you’re not the only one. Inside it feels like heaven And you’re tempted to look inside If you do, you’ll have to rip at it Is the cost worth the price for knowledge? It’s opened… You see everything But like a child, the gift of sight is blinding You’re scared of this new beauty You can’t understand There’s an adjustment with time And you feel alive. If you accept it’s will The rest will come full circle, Don’t lose your battle For the worst thing that comes Is happiness, beyond good judgment…
